PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. 



^ I ^HIS little work was prepared for my own use as a labor-saver, and 
as a receptacle for clinical observations, and for gleanings from 
others and from the periodicals. 

It has been the work of odd moments and little remnants of time, 
redeemed from busy days. 

Even the young physician, of a single summer's experience, must 
have felt the want of such a work, particularly when dealing with the 
frequently occurring and obstinate diarrhoeas of infants. It was the 
difficulty of treating these that first awakened the desire to possess in 
one little work all that was known of our Materia Medica as applied to 
loose evacuations of the bowels. 

It has not been intended to include every remedy that has been 
known to purge, but only every remedy of which enough is known, 
either of its stools, or conditions, or concomitants, to distinguish it from 
any other remedy. 

But some may inquire. Why should diseases of the bowels he honored 
above others by a special monograph? 

Those who have Boenninghausen on Cough, on Fever, and on Head- 
ache, will not ask this question, but will desire that the work go on 
until w^e possess such special aids in the treatment of all affections that 
most tax the busy practitioner. 

The present work is now printed because colleagues, who had seen 
it, desired to possess a copy — one going so far as to copy it himself, — 
because Mr. Tafel, who had seen it, desired to print it, and because the 
work had already repaid me for the time and labor it cost in the same 
coin, and I was therefore happy to believe that it would be of like use 
to others. The clinical test will be found to disclose mauy valuable

symptoms not to be met witii elsewliere, and, alas, doubtless, many 
errors. 

The carefully collated experience of ten active years, which it con- 
tains, would indeed be better if they were twenty or thirty, but perhaps 
the Lord in His goodness will permit this to be added also. 

It would be a grateful task to indicate throughout the work the 
sources from which many yaluable symptoms were drawn, but this 
would detract from its practical character as a work of reference.

AUTHOR'S PREFACE TO THE SECOND 
EDITION. 



^T^HE material for a new edition of this little work has been collect- 
ing ever since the first was published, and such an edition has 
long been called for, but I do not think it would have ever seen the 
light had I not persuaded my friend and successor. Dr. W. T. Laird, 
late of Watertown, N. Y., to undertake its preparation for the press. 
He has also added much from his own collection of material, and to him 
is due the entire remodelling of the Eepertory, which, in the first 
edition, was quite defective. 

My former partner, Dr. T. M. Dillingham, had kindly made a par- 
tial revision of the work, but went abroad before its completion. 

It may be necessary to add, by way of a personal explanation, that my 
"specialty" lies in quite another direction than "Diarrhoea" or Materia 
Medica, and it is only as a lover of sound therapeutics that I have 
taken up these subjects. 

Dr. Ad. Lippe has contributed two annotated copies and many sug- 
gestions, and I wish to tender my thanks to him and to all who have 
added any observatioiJs to its pages, as well, also, to the great numbers 
in the profession who have so kindly and heartily commended the book. 
To me its only merit is its practical application of the principles of 
Hahnemann, and I am rejoiced, therefore, that so many still hold 
firmly to those principles and seek to be guided by them.

EDITOR'S PREFACE. 



TN the revision of a monograph like the present work, after the lapse 
of twelve years, many new remedies demand recognition. These 
may be conveniently divided into four classes. 

In the first, we place those which have been thoroughly proved and 
repeatedly verified in practice. 

The second consists of drugs, which have also been well proved, but 
whose symptons, as yet, lack clinical confirmation. 

The third embraces the medicines of which we possess only fragmen- 
tary and imperfect pathogeneses. These may be styled " the suggestive 
remedies," and include such drugs as Goto Bark, Gent, lut., Geran., 
Gnaph., Hura, CEnothera, Paullinia, etc. 

The fourth division contains those remedies whose indications are 
derived solely ah usu in morbis. 

Of the first and second classes every remedy is plainly entitled to 
admission, "of which enough is known, either of its stools, or conditions, 
or concomitants, to distinguish it from any other remedy." 

Many of the drugs in the third class are doubtless valuable, and will 
prove of great service when further provings, experience and observa- 
tion have developed their characteristic indications. Some of them have 
already been successfully used in practice. Unfortunately, however, at 
the present time the symptoms of the majority of these remedies are 
too few and too uncertain to render their selection easy or to entitle 
them to a place in a work which is intended to be purely practical. 

Remedies of the fourth class — those having no basis except empiri- 
cism — must be viewed with distrust and received with great caution. 

In the second edition the same general plan has been followed as in 
the first, with the exception that the important symptoms are italicized, 

(6) 



PREFACE. / 

while those which are especially characteristic are printed in black 
type. 

The term "cholera infantum" has been retained in many cases, 
which, according to strict pathology, would be more properly designa- 
ted as entero-colitis and gastro-enteric catarrh. Although this use of the 
term is not defensible from a scientific standpoint, it is sanctioned to 
such an extent by common usage that in has been thought inexpedient 
to make any change. 

The present edition contains over 100 pages more than the first. 
Thirty-two new remedies have been added, and the old ones thoroughly 
revised, and, in some instances, entirely rewritten. 

Numerous clinical symptoms have been incorporated with the text, 
but only those whose genuineness is attested by trustworthy observers 
or which the writer has frequently verified in his own practice. Many 
others have been rejected on the ground of insufiicient evidence. 

The writer lays no claim to originality in the additions he has made 
to this work. His task has been mainly one of compilation. He has 
gleaned from our literature all that he deemed valuable, and has con- 
scientiously endeavored to make the book as accurate and complete as 
possible ; yet none can be more painfully aware of the many imperfec- 
tions and errors of omission which it must necessarily contain. It is 
especially to be regretted, in this connection, that the request for con- 
tributions, printed in our journals, has met with such meagre responses 
from the profession ; for it is only by unity of effort that we can hope 
to attain the best results. 

The writer would gratefully acknowledge his indebtedness to Drs. 
W. P. Wesselhoeft and Ad. Lippe for valuable notes and suggestions ; 
to Prof. E. A. Farrington for important information, and also for his 
kind permission to make free use of very complete notes of his lectures 
on Materia Medica; and to Dr. F. F. Laird for assistance in prepar- 
ing manuscript.

PREFACE TO THIRD EDITION. 



^ I ^HTS book has been most thoroughly revised, with the earnest pur- 
pose of making it as nearly complete as possible. Four reme- 
dies of little importance have been omitted, viz.: Cactus, Euphorb., 
Opuntia and Castoreum, and five of much value have been added, viz. : 
Acetic acid, Crotalus, Angiistura, Carbolic acid and Valeriana. 

The more closely one follows the principles discovered by Hahne- 
mann the more priceless appears the legacy which he has left us. We 
have no occasion to join in the pursuit of our new, but speedily dis- 
covered drugs, lauded first as specifics, then thrown over for their failures 
and harmful effects. We are able at once, by proving and observation, 
to rightly estimate and use the new as w^ell as the old remedies, and 
the knowledge thus acquired will be just as valuable centuries hence 
as now, and so we work on with the solemn joy of those whose work 
will never cease to bless mankind while there remain any sick to be 
healed. 

Dr. Samuel A. Kimball, author of the Monograph on Gonorrhoea, 
has given faithful and most valuable assistance in this revision, and 
Drs. J. G. Allen and W. Jefferson Guernsey have furnished annotated 
copies of the earlier edition. Many others also have contributed 
observations and suggestions, to all of whom most cordial thanks are 
tendered.

INTRODUCTION. 



CHARACTER AND OBJECT OF THE WORK. 

^ I ^HIS work is intended to apply to all loose evacuations of the 
bowels, and to describe them, their aggravations and ameliora- 
tions, with their immediate accompaniments and general accompanying 
symptoms. 

The character of the stool is used as an adjective, and after it the 
"stool" is always to be understood. The semicolon stands for it. 

Under the head of aggravations and ameliorations those influences are 
given which affect the stool, and also those which act as exciting 
causes of the attack. When referring to other symptoms, they will be 
found indicated in parentheses. 

The concomitants of the stool have been studied and observed with 
much care. 

The general accompaniments include all the symptoms that occur 
during the attack. 

Under each of the best known remedies some symptoms will be 
found italicized. These, it will be understood, are the symptoms which 
have been most frequently observed, and which also serve to most 
sharply distinguish that remedy from others. The more of these em- 
phasized symptoms we have under any one remedy the easier the 
selection. The sooner we are able by careful observation to emphasize 
symptoms under all our remedies, the more we shall perfect our art. 
It should be the self-appointed task of every Homoeopathic physician 
to confirm, and define, and add to the symptoms of all our remedies, 
but more especially of those that are but little known. Many of that 
class will be found in this book, some of which have many symptoms 
of clear and distinctive character, derived from provings, but whose 

(9) 



10 IXTRODUCTION. 

relative and positive value awaits clinical determination. If those who 
use this book will add the fruits of their observations by underlining 
and writing-in symptoms, they will be gladly incorporated in a future 
edition, should any be required. 

The remarks, which follow nearly every remedy, should be under- 
stood as embodying only the personal opinions of the writer, whether 
confirming or contradicting what may have been published by others. 
It is hoped that they may sometimes aid in the selection of the remedy, 
but they are of wholly subordinate authority to the text. 

THE SELECTION OF THE REMEDY. 

All who subscribe to the law of similars agree that the problem in 
each case is to find a remedy w^hose symptoms are most closely similar 
to the case in hand. This problem finds a somewhat different solution, 
however, in different classes of mind. 

One class thinks the solution is found in a similitude to the patho- 
logical state. If able to diagnose hypersemia, hypersesthesia, ulceration, 
plastic exudation, atony, atrophy, hypertrophy, and so on through the 
catalogue, this seems to them sufficient. They have only then to diag- 
nose a remedy producing a similar state. This has a great fascination 
for some excellent minds, because it seems to utilize the splendid 
developments of Allopathy in this direction, and connect them directly 
w^ith therapeutics. 

Another, and growing class, believes that those w^ho stop here will 
never comprehend the true genius of Homoeopathy. The demand for 
exactness, minuteness and delicacy of observation in all branches of 
science was never greater. The same is true of Homoeopathic Thera- 
peutics. Those who are ardently following in this direction soon 
discover that the selection of the remedy requires, so to speak, two 
similars, viz. : one corresponding to the general symptoms, or those 
which bring it into relation to the pathological state to be treated, and 
one corresponding to the special and characteristic symptoms, or those 
which bring it into relation with the individual case to be treated. 

To illustrate: a patient has stools consisting of bloody mucus, small 
and frequent, with tenesmus. We diagnose dysentery; hypersemia 



INTRODUCTION. 11 

and inflammation of the mucous membrane of the colon, with exudation 
of blood and secretion of mucus. Forty-four volunteers stand ready, 
armed and equipped with a similar pathological condition. But we 
want but one, and how shall we learn which one? We must be more 
exact, and discover that our patient has restlessness, dry heat and 
much thirst. Our volunteers are now reduced to three ; but still too 
many. Applying our magnifying-glass again, we observe a recent 
exposure to cold, dry wind, and a flushed face becoming pale, with 
faintness on rising, and now we have the man we want. 

It becomes evident, therefore, that the individualizing symptoms 
possess the greater value, and are, indeed, indispensable to a certain 
selection. 

It should be noticed, further, that these distinguishing symptoms are 
of all kinds and qualities, from the most purely objective and patho- 
logical, to the most subjective and delicate complaints which the organ- 
ism is capable of uttering. As instances of the former may be cited, 
the green frothy stools of Magn. c, the dark acid urine of Benz. ac, 
the blue varices of Mur. ac, and of the latter, the aggravation from 
hearing water run, of Hydroph., from sudden depressing emotions, of 
Gels., and the relief, from cold food and drink, of Phos. 

But whatever the character of these symptoms, in this particular, it 
is to be observed that they are hardly ever obtrusive enough to thrust 
themselves upon the notice of an unobserving man, and that they often 
require a patience and acuteness of observation hardly excelled by 
astronomers, microscopists and other followers of natural science. 

This mode of diagnosing the remedy is also in exact accordance with 
that pursued in other sciences. The chemist would be thought hardly 
worthy of his title who should attempt to recognize arsenic by its 
cruder properties of color, weight, or taste. He must be familiar with 
its most delicate and characteristic tests and reactions. He does not 
ignore the other properties, yet it is only after applying the character- 
istic tests that he will give an authoritative decision, and on these he 
will rely, even in cases involving w^eighty questions of human guilt or 
innocence. 

But now the question arises, and it is a very important and practical 



12 INTEODUCTIOX. 

one: suppose we find that the only remedy for a given case, that cor- 
responds to the peculiar and individualizing symptoms, is one that has 
never been known to cause the pathological state under which our 
patient suffers. The answer is, that we may safely infer that the 
remedy does possess also the general and organic symptoms of the case, 
and that it will remove them, together with the distinguishing indica- 
tions. 

Thus has our Materia Medica been enriched by at least one-fourth of 
the most positive and valuable pathological symptoms which we possess. 
Thus, for example, have we learned that Bry., Ars., Rhus, Bap., etc., have 
ulceration of Beyer's glands in their pathogenesis ; that Hep., Lach. 
and Lye. produce pseudo-membranous exudation; that Spong. causes 
and cures plastic endo-carditis ; or that (and a fact now published for 
the first time and obtained purely by observing the characteristic 
symptoms) Buls. and Sep. are known to cause and cure trachoma or 
granular conjunctivitis. 

Yet some affect to sneer at this method, and only a little time ago 
the author had the honor to acquire an enviable title, because he had 
observed the power of Bodoph. to cure true pneumonia when selected 
by some characteristic symptoms, although it has never been known to 
produce that condition. 

Yet here, too, we are following closely the example of the chemist, 
who from the yellow band in the spectrum is able to assert that there 
is sodium in the sun, or from the lines in the spectrum of the Diirk- 
heim spring-water is able to declare that a new metal is there. He 
does not hesitate to attribute form, weight, malleability and other 
metallic properties to the stranger, long before he is able to possess 
himself of a little bar of Indium. 

Our conclusion, then, is, that the problem of selection is solved by 
seeking the remedy which possesses the 2:)hysical and diagnostic symp- 
toms of the case, and which corresponds also to the special, distinguish- 
ing and peculiar symptoms which mark the individual case. And 
further, if a remedy is found that possesses distinctly the latter symp- 
toms, but not, so far as is known, the former, we may conclude safely 
that it does possess the former, and admiuister it with confidence. 



INTRODUCTION. 13 

THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE REMEDY. 

In the present state of our science upon this point, each can only con- 
tribute the fruits of his own observation. 

The writer began the practice of medicine with the preconceived 
idea strongly fixed in his mind, that, while the thirtieth potency might 
be useful and perhaps the best for chronic and nervous affections, the 
lower aud even crude preparations would prove more satisfactory for 
acute affections and particularly for diseases of the bow^els. 

Hard experience has taught him the contrary, and " though con- 
vinced against his will," he is not "of the same opinion still." 

There is indeed a somewhat prevalent opinion, that the strength of 
the dose makes up for want of due care or knowledge in selection. 

This maybe stated in mathematical terms as follows: If the thirtieth 
potency of Ars. is equal to a complete knowledge of the drug, one-fifth 
of a grain of arsenious acid is equal to complete ignorance of it. 
Stated in this, its true form, we grant it. 

Personally, our experience has been most satisfactory with the use 
of the twelfth, fifteenth, thirtieth, two hundredth, and often higher 
potencies, of our remedies, administered in water, and repeated every 
one to six hours according to the urgency of the symptoms, and sus- 
pended as soon as decided improvement appeared. If the same remedy 
was needed to be resumed again, it has seemed to do better in a higher 
potency, but on this point we cannot yet speak with entire assurance. 

We have not been able to perceive that age or sex or habits (we 
might add color, race or order in natural history) form any element 
in the choice of the dose. All classes have been found to respond 
favorably to the high potencies. As regards temperament, we cannot 
speak with equal positiveness, but we have no certain testimony prov- 
ing it to form an exception. 



Homoeopathic Therapeutics, 



PART I. 
The Remedies and their Indications. 



1. ACETIC ACID. 



Stools: Liquid; Frequent; Undigested; Very offensive ; Painful 
(liquid stools) ; Exhausting. 

Aggravation : In the morning : In phthisical subjects : In 
typhoid: In ascites. 

Accompaniments : Intense thirst, and water does not seem to dis- 
agree, even when taken in large quantities. Wants nothing but fluids. 
Complains much of the stomach. The abdomen is sometimes swollen 
very much. Feet and legs often swell. Has restless, sleepless, un- 
comfortable nights. Great emaciation. Great debility. Pale, waxen 
skin. Violent thirst in diarrhoea, with swelling of legs and feet, in 
phthisis. Thirstlessness in diarrhoea in later stages of typhus and 
typhoid fever. No thirst in croup. 

The most marked characteristic of Acetic acid is the thirst. 

We are indebted to Dr. H. N. Guernsey for most of the symptoms. 

2. ACONITE. 

Stools: Watery; Black; Green, like chopped spinach; Bilious ; 
Corrosive; Bloody, slimy, mucous; Small; Brown, small, painful; 
Frequent (dysenteric stool) ; Involuntary (when passing flatus). 

Aggravation: In summer, with cold nights: After getting wet: 

After being overheated : After exposure to cold, dry wind, or a draught : 

After anger or fright : After suppressed perspiration : At night : After 

eating fruit : In infauts.

16 THE EEMEDIES A>'D 

Amelioration : After eatiug warm soup — (pains). 

Before Stool : Cutting pains: Xausea and sweat: Anguish. 

During Stool : Cutting pains : Tenesmus : Sweat : Much flatus 
(with watery stools). 

After Stool : Relief, except from anguish, nausea and sweat, which 
may continue. 

Accompaniments : Anxiety; fear of death. Restlessness. Ver- 
tigo or fainting on rising up, with paleness ; face flushed when lying. 
Bitter taste of everything except water. Lips dry, dark. Unquench- 
able thirst. Xausea. Vomiting : of blood ; of blood and mucus ; of 
bile ; of what has been drunk with profuse sweat. Sensation of a cold 
stone in the stomach. Distended abdomen sensitive to the touch. 
Abdomen very hot. Violent pains (cutting) in the abdomen. Colic, 
of infants, which no position relieves (with bilious stool). Rheumatic

Sweat on the covered parts. 

In Cholera : Hippocratic countenance ; face bluish ; lips black ; ex- 
pression of terror and imbecility ; cold limbs with blue nails. Collapse. 

Aeon, is especially useful in the very beginning of acute diseases of 
the bowels, and is then often able to cut short dysentery and even cholera 
morbus without any other remedy. It is also a valuable intercurrent 
in dysentery, when Merc, eorr., although indicated, fails to relieve. It 
closely resembles Dulc. and is followed well by that drug, also by Bell. 

Abuse of Aeon, calls for Sulph. 

3. .^SCULLS HIPPOCASTAXU3I. 

Stools: Papescent; Mushy; Slimy; White; Light brown; First 
part black and hard, last part white as milk; Bloody and slimy (with 
haemorrhoids) ; Watery, painless in p.m. ; Thin, yellow.

burning, purple hcemorrhoids. Violent backache in sacro-lumbar 
region, aggravated by walking or stooping. Pain across sacro-iliac 
symphysis with feeling as if back would break. 

^sculus will prove serviceable in the chronic diarrhoea of patients, 
who suffer from hsemorrhoidal troubles, associated with the severe 
lumbar and sacral pains characteristic of this remedy.

sweat. Drowsiness with chilliness. Violent startiugs during sleep. 
Great prostration. 

.fflthus. is suitable to a severe form of cholera infimtum. It will usu- 
ally be hardly able to complete the cure alone, but will need to be 
followed by an antipsoric ; most frequently by Psor., Sep., or Sulph.

in hypochondria, with painful weakness in the legs. Heat, fulness, 
pressure and tenderness in the abdomen and region of the liver. Grip- 
ing pains in abdomen, relieved by bending double, with urging to stool, 
nothing but flatus being passed. Shooting and boring pains around 
navel increased by pressure. Intense griping pain across the lower 
part of the abdomen, especially on the right side. Lower part of 
abdomen swollen and sensitive to pressure. Cutting and pinching

iJie abdomen as of water running out of a bottle. Distended abdomen. 
Flatus smells very badly, and causes burning in the rectum. Urine 
generally profuse. Involuntary urination. Heaviness and numbness 
of the thighs. Chilliness when leaving the fire. Repugnance to open 
air, which, nevertheless, relieves. 

Aloe is one of our most valuable remedies for both diarrhoea and 
dysentery. It is undoubtedly a deeply acting antipsoric and of great 
value in chronic diarrhoea. The symptoms are marked and unmis- 
takable, as given above. Contrary to what might be expected, the 
peculiar gurgling in the abdomen is often found with the dysenteric 
stool, when Aloe is indicated. The good appetite is most frequently 
met with in children. The haemorrhoids differ from those of Brom. 
in the relief from cold water, and from those of Muriatic acid, which 
are relieved by warm water and greatly aggravated by cold water 
locally applied. It has many symptoms like Sulphur and is nearly as 
important a remedy.

Alum, is sometimes useful in acute diarrhoea and, possibly, dysentery, 
when the difficult expulsion of stool and urine exists. It is more fre- 
quently indicated in chronic diarrhoea accompanying chlorosis in 
slender delicate girls, with the depraved appetite and the aggravation 
on alternate days. With these symptoms, a brilliant cure may be ex- 
pected, including the chlorosis, if the remedy be not given too low and 
too frequently.

ing after rising. 

Amm. m. is especially adapted to fat, sluggish people, with adipose 
tissue well developed on the trunk, while the legs are disproportion- 
ately small. It is useful for chronic diarrluxMi occurring during the 
menses, when the other symptoms correspond. Many of the symptoms 



22 THE REMEDIES AND 

resemble those of Aloe but are milder. The green mucous stool may 
render it useful in iufantile diarrhoea, but experience with it in this 
affection is yet wanting. 



9. ANGUSTURA. 

Stools: Mucous; Yellow; Whitish; Slimy; Copious (thin stools). 

Aggravation: In morning: During day : At night. 

Before Stool: Cutting in abdomen and nausea: Sensation in 
rectum as if it would protrude.

to nurse. Frequent eructations. Eructations tasting of food. Cutting 
in abdomen. Desire for acids. Frequent and profuse urine, with 
reddish sediment. Constant secretion of a yellowish-white mucus at 
the anus. 

The gastric symptoms of Antimon. crud. predominate. The vomiting 
differs from that of Aeon., Ars., Verat, and other remedies, in the 
absence of severe thirst and in the white-coated tongue. From want 
of attention to these distinctions, this remedy is often overlooked, when 
it would bring speedy relief. 

11. AIS^TIMONIUM TART. 

Stools : Light, brownish-yellow, fecal ; Watery ; Mucous ; Bloody ; 
Green, slimy, mucous ; Frequent ; Profuse ; Thin, bilious ; Liquid,

tration, cold sweat and thready pulse. 

Although not of frequent use in diarrhoea, Tartar emet. will repay 
careful study. Veratrum has doubtless been given many times whore 



24 THE REMEDIES AND 

the choice should have fallen on this remedy, as the colic, desires and 
vomiting are quite similar. 

Tartar emet., however, has more dro^Ysines3 and twitching of the 
muscles than Verat.

ing shrieks. Hands blue and cold. Cold forearms. Increasing prostra- 
tion. Emaciation. Indescribable feeling of weakness. Anasarca. 
Ascites. 

In infantile diarrhoea and cholera infantum Apis is one of our most 
precious remedies, corresponding to a low and dangerous condition. 
The absence of thirst, existing with a dry tongue and dry hot skin, is 
sufficiently striking to prevent confounding it with other remedies with 
similar stools. Still more characteristic is the bruised soreness of the 
abdominal walls. This is always present. Even when hydrocephaloid 
ensues, and the previously distended abdomen becomes sunken and 
flabby, there is still the same intolerance of the slightest pressure. 
When oedema is present it will be most frequently found in the feet 
and genitals.

Sudden and severe attacks of cholera infantum, with the charac- 
teristic stools, in children who are very fond of sugar, and who have 
eaten too much of it, will find their remedy in Argent, nit. 

This drug is also likely to prove useful in advanced cases*of dysen- 
tery with ulceration.

Great weakness ; fainting ; rapid exhaustion. Very rajnd and 
scarcely perceptible pulse, or the pulse may be fast in the morning and 
slow in the evening. Rapid emaciation, with oedema of face and legs. 

There is reason that, as routine is easier than study, Arsenicum may 
have accomplished more harm than good in the hands of homoeopathic 
practitioners. No remedy has been more frequently given in acute 
affections of the bowels, while it is not the most frequently indicated, 
and it is not a remedy to be unwisely used. The symptoms which 
most clearly distinguish it from other remedies with a similar totality, 



THEIR INDICATIONS. 29 

are the characteristic thirst and restlessness. These two must be 
present, as a general rule. The mucous stools are not usually offensive ; 
the watery ones are very much so, and often painless.

from an ulcer. Glands swollen, hard and hot, with shooting, jerking 
pains. 

Asafoetida has a limited range of action, and is chiefly applicable to 
diarrhoea occurring in scrofulous children and hysterical women. The 
extremely offensive stool, and the generally reversed peristalsis are the 
leading indications for its use.

Extended clinical observation has proved the value of Bapt. in both 
diarrhoea and dysentery, w^hen assuming the typhoid type. The 
tenesmus, with absence of pain and the characteristic tongue and men- 
tal symptoms, render its selection easy and certain.

Baryta carb. will occasionally prove useful in the diarrhoea of scrof- 
ulous children. The concomitant symptoms and the appearance of 
the child are more characteristic than the stool.

Stools: Thin, green mucous; Bloody mucous; Granular, yellow, 
slimy mucous ; White mucous ; White, papescent, fecal (as ivhite as 
lime); Clay-colored; Watery; Containing lumps like chalk: Chalky-

The pains appear and disappear suddenly. 

Belladonna will be found suitable for children more frequently than 
adults. It is often the only remedy required for severe cases of infan- 
tile dysentery. The drowsiness, with startings, dry heat and frequent 
drinking, may be regarded as characteristic, if the other symptoms of 
the patient correspond. 

22. BENZOIC ACID. 

Stools : Watery, white, or light-colored ; Like dirty soap-suds ; 
Copious; Very offensive ; Frothy bloody ; Smelling strong, pungent, like 
urine; Putrid, bloody.

During Stool : Urging. 

Accompaniments: Urine very strong-smelling; usually dark. 
Scanty. Much exhaustion. Weakness. Perspiration. Cold sweat 
on the head. 

The symptoms of Benz. ac. are not many, but they are genuine jewels.

urine, which is also almost invariably present. 

23. BISMUTHUM. 

Stools: Papescent; Watery; Cadaverous-smelling; Painless. 
Before Stool : Rumbling in the abdomen. 
During Stool : Emission of fetid flatus : Colic.

mous. Vomits water only; food is retained. 

Heaviness, pressure and burning in the pit of the stomach. 

Abdomen distended with flatulence. 

Great prostration, but the surface is warm. 

The value of Bismuth, in cholera infantum has not been fully ap- 
preciated. The excessive prostration, without coldness of the surface, 
will readily distinguish it from other remedies. In thickly coated 
w^hite tongue and gastric symptoms it resembles Antimon. crud. 

24. BOLETUS LAKICIS. 

{Polyporus officinalis.) 

Stools : Yellowy watery ; Frothy ; Papescent; Mixed with bile and 
frothy mucus or with oily-looking fluid; Thin, dark, papescent; Mu-

Starting from sleep with anxious screams, throwing the hands about, 
seizing things or clinging to the mother. The legs jerk when falling 
asleep. 

Palms hot. Emaciation; flesh relaxed. Skin pale or livid. De- 
bility. Sopor. 

Belladonna has, doubtless, been often given when Borax should have 
been. The anxious feeling on downward motion is the chief distinction 
between them, and is peculiar to Borax. 

26. BOVISTA. 

Stools : Liquid, yellow, fecal ; First part hard, last part thin and 
watery. 

Aggravation: Early in the morning: In the evening: At night:

languor and debility. 

One or two cases of Bromine diarrhoea, in its characteristic totality, 
are as many as can be expected to fall to one physician during a life- 
time. Should the aggravation after oysters, however, become more 
fully confirmed, it will need to be used more frequently.

Stools : Brown, thin fecal ; Black ; Thin, bloody ; Undigested ; 
Green and watery ; Copious, papescent, dark green; Like dirty water

Bryonia has not been one of the routine remedies for loose discharges 
from the bowels, nor is it desirable that it should become so, or that 
that list should be enlarged. It is, however, quite often indicated, 
and if administered according to the above symptoms, will not fail to 
repay the careful chooser. 

29. CALCAREA CARB.

THEIR INDICATIONS. 39 

In selecting Calcarea c, the stool is of less importance than the per- 
son and the concomitant symptoms. These often render it the indis- 
pensable remedy in psoric individuals. The smell of the urine cannot 
be described, but once smelled it is never forgotten. The color will 
distinguish it from that of Benz. ac. It is said to be suitable when per- 
sistent tenesmus remains after dysentery in children, 

30. CALCAREA PHOS. 

Stools: Green, slimy, undigested; Hot, watery; Purulent; Splut- 
tering; Extremely offensive; White; Papescent; Containing pus in

Tendency to marasmus or hydrocephaloid. 

Calc. phos. is one of our most valuable remedies for the diarrhoea of 
scrofulous and rachitic children. It can easily be distinguished from 
Calc, c, Silic. and Sul. by the concomitant symptoms. When given 
in season it will often prevent marasmus, and is the first remedy to be 
thought of in threatened hydrocephaloid, after the failure of China to 
arrest the disease. 

31. CAMPHOR. 

Stools : Dark brown ; Blackish ; Looking like coffee-grounds 
(fecal); (Watery?); Jjs^r ge, thin ; Involuntary ; Like rice-water ; Gen-

Cold sweat on the face. 

In Cholera: Great sinking and collapse, sometimes without stool 
or vomiting. Cold as death, but cannot bear to be covered. 

Camph. is principally useful in the very commencement of diseases 
of the bowels ; later stages, presenting similar symptoms, requiring 
Verat, Cuprum, etc. " In Camph. collapse is most prominent ; in Verat. 
alb. the evacuations and vomiting; in Cuprum the cramps." — Dunham.

ing in abdomen. Abdomen very sensitive to touch. 

Frequent ineffectual desire to urinate, painf id. Burning after urina-

coma, delirium and convulsions. 

Collapse, with feeble pulse and cold hands and feet. Burning pains

The appearance like scrapings of the intestines is the most charac- 
teristic symptom of Cantharis, and will frequently call tV)r it when the 
more painful and violent symptoms are not present.

much distended. Sensation of coldness in the stomach. 

Tenesmus of the bladder, strangury. Frequent, unsuccessful desire 
to urinate, with burning in the bladder. 

Yawning. Sleeplessness. 

Capsicum is one of the royal remedies for dysentery ; resembling 
Canth. much in its symptoms, but differing equally as much, as a 
comparison will show. When the choice becomes difficult, the drink- 
ing after stool causing shuddering, and the drawing pains in the back 
after stool, will fix the decision on Caps., and distinguish it also from 
Merc. corr. and Nux vom. 

34. CARBO VEG. 

Stools : Thin, pale mucous ; Bloody mucous (dark, thin fecal) ; 
Brown, watery, slimy ; Light-colored; Semi-liquid, black ; Ashy-gray

Except in cholera, Carbo veg. is rarely indicated in the beginning of 
any acute disease of the bowels ; but in the later stages it may become 
the only remedy capable of producing a favorable change. It will not 
often be required in cases that have had good homoeopathic treatment, 
but much more frequently in those coming from allopathic hands. 
After it are frequently suitable Ars., China, Merc. soL, or Psor. It is 
also useful for the debility following a long-lasting attack of diarrhoea.

Novices often fail with Chamomilla. It is not adapted to every case 
of diarrhoea during dentition. The mental symptoms are of chief im- 
portance (compare Cina),but the desire to be carried about is not alone 
decisive. If, however, the other symptoms correspond, particularly of 
the stool, this symptom will make the choice more certain. Cham, is 
not often indicated in cases of long continuance, and is often unable to 
complete the cure alone, requiring to be followed by Merc. sol. or 
Sulph.

Clinical experience with it is therefore meagre. The desire for hot 
drinks is very peculiar, and may prove characteristic.

watery ; Chocolate colored ; Black, watery ; Bilious ; Whitish ;

China has a very strong resemblance to Carbo veg". The character 
of the stool will usually serve to distinguish them, together with the 
fact that with the former the stools are often entirely in the night, be- 
ing absent during the day, even in severe cases, unless they occur after 
meals, which is also an additional distinction. When well selected 
Chin, usually completes the cure. In threatened hydrocephaloid, how- 
ever, it is often necessary to follow Avith Calc. phos.

morning stool, with its peculiar concomitants, the distended abdomen, 
and the longing for charcoal, seem to furnish characteristic indications.

58 THE EEMEDIES AND 

asleep late aod awakens early, with feeling of great lassitude and 
weakness. Pulse feeble. Chlorosis. 

In many of its symptoms Cyclamen is almost identical with Puis., 
but may be distinguished from the latter by the character of the stool, 
the aggravation after coffee and the aversion to open air. Like Puis., 
it will prove especially valuable for the diarrhoea of chlorotic women, 
subject to sick headaches and menstrual irregularities.

Constant desire to urinate, only a small quantity being passed each 
time. Great weakness. Feeling of sinking at the stomach, as though one 
ivould die. Weak, slow pulse. 

Violent beating of the heart, not rapid, but too violent. 

Chest and bowel symptoms alternate ; cough in one fit of sickness 
and diarrhoea in the next.

dice and the sinking at the stomach. 

57. DIOSCOREA V. 

Stools : Deep yellow, thin, fecal ; Bilious ; 
Watery ; Albuminous ; Lumpy ;

Abdominal p)ains suddenly shift and appear in distant localities, as the 
fingers or toes. 

Pains in the legs and knees, relieved by motion and by rubbing. 

Disposition to paronychia. 

Diosc. has a much narrower range than Coloc, but, as in the latter, 
the colic is the principal indication. It is easily distinguished from the 
colic of any other remedy by the above symptoms. The disposition to 
felons may be found with the tendency to colic. Whether met with 
thus or single, Diosc. will usually cure whitlow if taken as soon as the 
pricking in the finger is felt, and greatly relieve and hasten the termi- 
nation if taken later.

Dulc. is seldom required except in cases directly traceable to taking 
cold or to a change in the weather from warm to cold ; but then it be- 
comes the indispensable and often all-sufficient remedy, whether the 
attack is diarrhoea or dysentery. It is rarely useful if the attack is 
painless. In many symptoms it resembles Aeon, and Arsen. 

59. ELATERIUM. 

Stools: Frothy, watery; Dull, olive-green discharges; Bilious; 
Squirting out ; Dark green mucous stool, in masses mixed with whitish 
mucus streaked with blood ;

Ferrum is sometimes required in cases of chronic diarrhoea, in both 
adults and children, with the above symptoms. Were it not for its 
excessive abuse by the allopathists, from whom such cases mostly come, 
it would be more frequently useful. It must also be remembered in 
cholera and cholerine ; especially when the slightest attempt at eating, 
drinking or moving brings on a stool. 

61. FLUORIC ACID. 

Stools : Watery ; Yellowish-brown, fecal ; 

Offensive ; Very loose, bright yellow, with mucus ; Frothy mucous ;

Before Stool: Viscid, tasteless saliva in the mouth: Burning, 
pinching pain in the stomach and about the navel : Sensation of dis- 
tension from flatulence : Griping, severe pain in lower part of abdomen. 

During Stool : Protrusion of hsemorrhoids: Prolapsus aui : Pain

bottle. Pain and sensitiveness to pressure in the ileo-ccecal region. 

Urine smells like onions, scenting the room.

Gambogia is one of the most important remedies in the treatment 
of diarrhoea, both acute and chronic, and has also a place in the thera- 
peutics of infantile diarrhoea and of dysentery. It closely resembles 
Aloe. It may be distinguished, however, by the absence of haemor- 
rhoids, by the rapid expulsion of stool, and by the immediate accom- 
panying symptoms of the stool as italicized above. When well selected, 
Gambogia usually gives a prompt and permanent cure, without subse- 
quent aid from other remedies. 

63. GELSEMIUM. 

Stools : Yellow fecal ; Cream-colored fecal; Bilious ; Tea green or 
olive green ; Involuntary.

Starts up screaming. Desire to be quiet or to be let alone. Feeling of 
intoxication. Gums swollen and tender. Tongue coated yellowish- 
white, with fetid breath. Little or no thirst. Pain in the bowels after 
beginning to walk, relieved by continued walking. Chilliness in the 
back. Drowsiness. Slight fever, with full, round, soft, floiuing pulse. 

Many persons are seized with diarrhoea M^henever subjected to sud- 
den depressing emotions, particularly fear and anxiety. The anticipa- 
tion of any unusual ordeal — as appearing in public, undergoing an 
examination, submitting to a surgical operation — is sufficient to excite 
it. Gels, removes it, together with the trepidation which caused it. It 
is a short-acting remedy, and although relieving the attacks, will sel- 
dom cure the disposition to them; some carefully chosen antipsoric 
must do that.

Graph, occupies a subordinate position in the treatment of diarrhoea, 
but the emphasized symptoms describe a condition sometimes met with, 
and often chronic, where it proves curative. It is especially adapted to 
fat, flabby persons, who suffer from constant chilliness, and are subject 
to eczematous and herpetic eruptions, which crack and ooze a glutinous 
fluid. These are apt to occur behind the ears or in the bends of the 
joints, and are associated with marked absence of perspiration.

later colorless. Cold feeling of the stomach, as if full of water. Much 
flatulence. 

Cold feeling in the abdomen. Severe cramps in abdomen, extending 
over the whole body. 

There is reason to believe that Gratiola will prove particularly ser- 
viceable in cases of cholera morbus resulting from drinking excessive 
quantities of water of moderate coolness ; the quantity, and not the 
coldness, being the cause. 

66. HEL.LEBORUS NIGER.

Hell. n. brings help sometimes, when without it help w^ould be hard 
to find, or be sought in vain. The stool is chiefly characteristic, and is 
such as sometimes occurs in protracted and dangerous cases of infantile 
diarrhoea. 

67. HEPAR SULPH. 

Stools: Light yellow fecal; Thin or papescent ; Green, watery; 
Black ; Undigested ; Whitish, sour smelling ; Bloody mucous ; Green,

Over-sensitiveness to pain. 

Hepar sul. occupies a leading position in the therapeutics of chronic 
diarrhoea. The cases calling for it are among the most common. They 
come often from allopathic treatment, having abuse of mercury or cin- 
chona, and often suppression of scabies in their history. So many of 
the characteristic symptoms are referred to the stomach, that the cases 
might be classed under dyspepsia. It most resembles Lycop. The 
time of aggravation is the most constant distinction. A comfortable 
feeling after eating is very characteristic. 

68. HIPPOMANE 3IA:N^CINELLA. 

Stools : Dark or black fecal, afterward watery ; Fetid. 



THEIR INDICATIONS. 67 

Aggravation: At night: At midnight: In the morning: After

Tympanitis. Drowsiness. 

Though published nearly thirty-four years ago, this remedy remains 
a stranger to most of us. The symptoms are not at all equivocal, and 
it may well be placed among our reserve forces. 

69. hydrophobi:n^. 

Stools : Bloody mucous ; Bloody. 

Aggravation : On seeing water, or hearing it run. 

Amelioration : By sipping tea. 

During Stool : Tenesmus.

rude and abusive, to bite and strike. Aversion to drinking water, but 
can take small quantities of chocolate. Large quantities of tough 
saliva in the mouth, with constant spitting. 

Hydroph. adds an interesting and well-confirmed symptom to our 
repertory, in the aggravation, which, with the other symptoms, makes 
it applicable in dysentery. Those who have scruples about using a 
remedy of this character are at liberty to cure cases having this dis- 
tinctive condition with some other remedy, if they can. 

70. HYOSCIA]>IUS. 

Stools: Yellow watery ; Watery; Mucous; 

Frequent; Involimtary ; In bed without conscioxisness of it; Painless;

streaks of red sand on the sheets. 

Sleeplessness from nervous irritation. 

Suhsultus tendinum. Picking at the bed-clothes. Convulsions. Spasms. 
Attack comes on suddenly without apparent cause. 

The symptoms of the stools of Hyos. are sufficiently unlike those of 
any other remedy to make the choice easy, but the accompanying 
symptoms make it certain.

mucous ; Acrid ; Sometimes painless ; Involuntary (when passing 
flatus) ; Alternate diarrhoea and constipation.

tary laughter. 

Ignatia is not often indicated in acute diseases of the bowels, but is 
valuable in certain forms of diarrhoea and dysentery, characterized by 
great nervous erethism and tenesmus occurring only after stool. The 
italicized accompaniments are very characteristic, especially the desire 
to take a deep breath to relieve the sinking at the stomach.

least exertion. Sleeplessness. Emaciation. Prostration and debility. 
Iodine is suitable mostly to a chronic diarrhoea of an exhausting 
character and in persons with dark eyes and hair. The restlessness is 
a constant desire for change of place, without anguish and tossing, as 
in Ars.

Drowsiness, with starting and jerking of the muscles durmg sleep. 



THEIR INDICATIONS. 71 

The continuous nausea is the most constant distinctive symptom of 
Ipec. The addition of the characteristic vomiting and the violent colic 
is more rare, and renders the choice more nearly certain. This remedy 
is seldom suited to cases of long continuance, and is often unable to 
complete the cure alone. In cholera infantum it may need to be fol- 
lowed by Arsenicum.

THEIR INDICATIONS. 73 

Those who have used Jatropha in the treatment of cholera have 
confirmed the above symptoms, and they are such as give it a promi- 
nent place in the treatment of the first stage of that disease, before the 
period of collapse. The albuminous vomiting is very characteristic. 
This and the other symptoms are also sometimes met with in cholera 
morbus. 

In some respects it resembles Ipec, but may be distinguished from 
the latter remedy by the burning thirst and violent cramps. 

78. KALI BICH. 

Stools : Blackish, watery ; Yellowish, watery ; Clay-colored, watery 
and lumpy ; Brownish^ frothy ^ watery ; Bloody ; Jelly-lihe ;

side of the chest and in the left sciatic nerve. 

Much debility and desire to lie down. 

Kali bich. proves of great service in a variety of cases, but chiefly in 
dysentery, with the characteristic tongue and gelatinous stools. Some- 
times, however, with those stools the tongue has nothing peculiar. The 
morning aggravation will then decide the choice. After Canth. has 
removed stools like scrapings, jelly-like stools will sometimes appear. 



74 THE REMEDIES AND 

Kali bicL will then complete the cure. It is also valuable in chronic 
morning diarrhoea and chronic clay-colored diarrhoea.

Although not one of the most frequently indicated remedies, Kreos. 
occupies an important place in our therapia. The symptoms of the 
teeth and gums are especially characteristic. It is followed well by 
Sulphur. After Carbo veg. it disagrees.

of the body : Pulselessness : Fainting : Tetanic spasms : Staring, fixed 
look : Dilated pupils : Respiration slow, deep, gasping, difficult and 
spasmodic, at long intervals. 



78 THE REMEDIES AND 

The symptoms of Lauroc. remind us at once of a most severe and 
fatal form of cholera infantum. The rattling of drink as it rolls down 
the oesophagus is the most characteristic symptom, and one of evil omen. 
In these cases, the other symptoms corresponding, this remedy will save 
many otherwise fatal cases. The same remark applies also to cholera 
and cholera morbus. 

85. LEPTAXDRIA. 

Stools : Black, fecal fluid j running from the bowels in a stream ;

Clinically, little is known of Lept. ; but the symptoms derived from 
provings are peculiar and distinctive, though not such as are often met 
with in practice. The symptom of the region of the liver is found on 
the opposite side, under Natr. carb. The griping colic after stool with- 
out tenesmus will distinguish Lept. from Merc. sol. 

86. EILIU31 TIGRIXUM. 

Stools : Dark brown, semi-liquid fecal ; Copious, bilious ; Bloody, 
mucous ;

dependent upon, prolapsus uteri and ovarian irritation, has been con- 
firmed by abundant clinical observation.

THEIR INDICATIONS. 81

Lycop. is one of the noblest monuments to the genius of Hahnemann, 
as well as one of the most convincing proofs of the homoeopathic doc- 
trines. This innocent substance is developed by potentizing into one 
of our most valuable remedies for chronic diarrhoea, as met with in 
weak, chlorotic, dyspeptic and debilitated persons. The characteristic 
symptoms are marked, and need no comment. The symptoms of the 
stool are subordinate. The " chilliness in the rectum," before stool, is a 
singular but genuine symptom, which further observation may prove to 
be characteristic. It should be thought of in cholera infantum, with 
brain symptoms. 

Before Lye. is frequently needed some other, not antipsoric remedy 
(often Nux vom.).

Debility. 

Much of the ground which should have been occupied by Magn. carb. 

has heretofore been given to Cole, and Merc. A better acquaintance 

with the former will prevent this in the future. It is a remedy of the 

first order in dysentery and infantile diarrhoea. The stools are highly

characteristic. The bloody mucus is found mixed with the green, 
watery stool, sinking to the bottom of the vessel and adhering there ;

Limbs feel bruised. Trembling of the limbs. 

Faintness, weakness and shuddering. 

In the absence of any provings except poisonings, the finer shades 
of Merc. corr. are not known. One thing is certain, however, that it 
is too frequently employed in dysentery, to which it is only applicable 
when occurring in great intensity and accompanied by the character- 
istic urinary symptoms, as given above. It follows Aeon. well.

Few remedies require more careful selection than Merc. Its symp- 
toms, though marked and decided, differ more from other remedies in 
intensity than in quality, and it requires an observiug experience to 
measure this difference. It differs negatively, however, from many 
other similar remedies, wanting characteristics which they possess. In 
psoric infants the choice has often to be made between Calc, Sil. and 
Merc, and must be made with care, as a mistake is not easily rectified. 

Sil. and Merc, do not follow each other well. 

92. MEZEREUM. 

Stools: Watery; Brown, fecal; Fermented; Undigested; Contain- 
ing small glittering grains ; Small; Frequent; Sour; Offensive. 

Aggravation: In the evening: After suppression of an eruption of 
thick crusts covering thick pus. 

Before Stool: Chill: Colic: Passing much fetid flatus. 

During Stool : Increased urging : Colic : Prolapsus recti : Anus 
becomes painful and constricted about the fallen rectum. 

After Stool: Chill: Constriction of the prolapsus: AVeakness: 
Sensitiveness to cold, open air : Painful tenesmus, extending to the 
perineum and urethra (male). 

Accompaniments: Pale, wretched look. Gray, earthy complexion. 
Increase of saliva. Tongue coated w^hite or yellow. Bitter taste. De- 
sire for ham fat, coffee, wine. Much colic ; cutting, pinching, drawing, 
relieved by rising, stretching and emission of flatus. Exhaustion. 
Debility. 

In cases of chronic diarrhoea, with a psoric anamnesis, Mez. will 
sometimes prove to be the remedy for the whole condition. 

It resembles Merc, somewhat, and is useful when Merc, has been 
improperly given, and sometimes is needed after Bellad.

Pulse weak and sloiu, intermitting every third beat. Muscular weak- 
ness after abuse of narcotics, soothing syrups, etc. 

To delineate Mur. ac. further would be to give its full indications 
in typhoid fever, of which the diarrhoea is only an accompanying 
symptom. It is also highly applicable to diarrhoea with protrusion of 
blue or dark purple hsemorrhoids, especially when occurring in feeble 
children, suffering from gastric atony, muscular debility and threatened 
marasmus. 

It follows well after Rhus. Bry. 

94. NATKUM CARB.

wind in the abdomen. Passing much sour or fetid flatus. Griping 
colic soon after eating. Stitches in the left hypochondrium, worse after 
drinking very cold water. Weak ankles. 

Natr. carb. is rarely indicated in the treatment of diarrhoea, but as 
one of the remedies having an aggravation from milk, it may sometimes 
be required in chronic cases. The stomach symptoms should also 
correspond. 

95. NATKUM MUK. 

Stools: Black, watery ; Greenish, watery ; Grayish ; Like the white of 
an egg (without fseces) ; Bloody ; 

Profuse; Gushing; Corrosive; Involuntary; Alternating with con- 
stipation.

of the glands. General emaciation, most conspicuous about the neck, 
which is very thin and shrunken. 

Natrum mur. is chiefly useful for chronic diarrhoea of children, but 
also of older people. 

The emaciation of the neck, the greasy appearance of the face and the 
peculiar desires and aversions furnish the leading indications. 

96. NATRUM SULPH. 

Stools: Thin, yellow, fluid ; Half liquid; Yellowish-green; Gush- 
ing ; Spattering all over the vessel ; Suddenly expelled ; Slimy, light 
red, or bloody ; Involuntary, while passing flatus or urine ;

quantities of flatus, mostly fetid. Constant desire to take a deep, long 
breath. 



C» THE REMEDIES AND 

Panaritium. Inflammation and suppuration around the roots of the 
nails. The pain is better out of doors. 

Natr. sulph. is one of the most frequently indicated remedies in cases 
of chronic diarrhoea, where the loose morning stool is the leading 
symptom. The flatulent symptoms are very characteristic, but not 
necessarily present. 

The tendency to " run rounds," or painful suppurations around the 
finger-nails, is often present, and is a strong confirmatory indication. 
The morning stool differs from that of Sulph. in occurring later and 
after rising. 

97. XIOCOLUl^I. 

Stools : Thin, fecal ; Yellow, mucous ; 

Coming out with force (yellow mucous). 

Aggravation : After taking milk : In the morning. 

Before Stool: Urging: Pinching: Violent cutting in abdomen.

Violent urging : Tenesmus. 

After Stool : Colic : Violent burning in anus as if grains of barley 
were sticking there : Renewed unsuccessful urging and tenesmus. 

Accompaniments : Hunger, without appetite or any relish for 
food, but feels better after eating. 

Much thirst day and night. Nausea, with gulping up of sour water. 
Distended abdomen. 

Much flatulence, fetid or inodorous. 

This remedy resembles several others in the aggravation after milk, 
but differs from them all in other symptoms. "We have had no clinical 
experience with it as yet. 

98. NITRIC ACID. 

Stools: Mucous; Green mucous; Bloody mucous; Slimy; Flakes 
of false membranes ; Undigested; Yellowish-white, fluid ; Putrid; Fetid; 
Acrid ; Sour- smelling. 

Aggravation : On alternate days : During typhoid fever : After 
dinner: After milk: After abuse of mercury: /?i ^/ie??ior?ii?i(7; In dark- 
complexioned old people. 

Amelioration : From riding (general condition) : From moving 
about and eating (nausea). 

Before Stool: Colic: Drawing pains : Cuttings: Constant pressing 
in the rectum. 



THEIR INDICATIONS. 89 

During Stool: Nausea: Colic: Tenesmus : Spasmodic contraction 
of the anus : Cutting in the anus and rectum. 

After Stool : Exhaustion: Irritation, anxiety and general uneasi- 
ness : Soreness and rawness of the anus: Burning in the anus : Violent 
cutting and drawing pains in the rectum, continuing for hours. 

Accompaniments : Irritability or despondency. Anxiety about 
the disease. Vanishing of thought. Dulness of the head. Headache, 
aggravated by the jar and rattle of carriages on the street. Pale, yel- 
lowish complexion. Ulcers in the mouth and fauces. Ulcers and 
blisters on the lips. Scorbutic gums. Dryness of the throat. Copi-

Appetite for herring; fat food ; earth, chalk, lime, starch. Much 
thirst, especially in the morning. Cutting in the abdomen (in the 
morning in bed). Much flatulence and rumbling. Urine dark, with 
a strong smell, or sourish smell, like the urine of horses. Cold feet 
(with colic). 

Night-sweat. Debility. Intermittent pulse. 

Emaciation, especially of the upper arms and thighs. Enlargemeiit 
of the glands. 

According to the puJ^lished symptoms, Nitr. ac. resembles Alumina, 
but those symptoms are not confirmed by clinical observation. The 
appetite for chalk, lime and similar substances obstinately refuses to 
yield to this remedy, and we are gkid to notice that this symptom is 
not found in Hahnemann's proving. — As one of the remedies having 
green mucous stools, it should be studied in infantile diarrhoea, partic- 
ularly after abuse of mercury, or in children of syphilitic parents. It 
has also proved serviceable in dysentery of a typhoid type, with diph- 
theritic deposit on the mucous membrane of the intestines. Compare 
with Hep. and Mezer. after abuse of Merc. 

99. NUPHAR LUTEUM. 

Stools: Yellow, watery ; Fetid ; Painless.

Pricking pains in the rectum as from needles. 

Weakness of the sexual organs. 

Sensation of weakness and loss of power in the limbs, worse in the

Nuphar is not a remedy of wide range. The early morning stool, 
the weakness of the limbs and the general exhaustion are the leading 
symptoms. 

100. NUX MOSCHATA. 

Stools: Thin, yellow (like beaten or stirred eggs); Bloody; Uii- 
digested; Watery; Slimy;

symptoms come on while the patient is still at the table. ISTausea, more 
while riding. Colic, worse after taking food or drink, relieved by hot, 
wet cloths. Urine scanty. 

Great drowsiness. Torpor. Lethargy, 

Cool, dry skin. Disposition to faint. 

Great languor. 

In the exhausting diarrhoeas of children, accompanied by great 
sleepiness, and worse at night, Nux mosch. is the remedy.

Debility. Sinking at the stomach. Desire to sit or lie down. Sen- 
sitiveness to open air, or to a slight current of air. Heat, with red face 
and aversion to uncovering^. 

Emaciation. Chlorosis. 

Nux vom. is often of first importance in dysentery, with the charac- 
teristic stools and immediate accompaniments. In slow fevers, with 
alternating constipation and diarrhoea, and in chlorosis, as well as jaun- 
dice, it holds an important place. In the latter affections the general 
symptoms, more than the stools, decide for this remedy. 



92 THE REMEDIES AND 

Nnx must not be overlooked in the treatment of diarrhcea because 
more often used for constipation.

Stools : Green, odorless, mucous; Profuse. 

Aggravation : During dentition : In summer. 

Accompaniments : Loss of appetite. 

Restlessness. 

Sleeplessness. 

Although PauUinia has been before the profession over twenty years, 
since its introduction by the Vienna provers, the concomitants are still 
almost unknown. The peculiar stool, however, has often been verified 
in practice and must always furnish the leading indication for the use 
of this remedy in infantile diarrhoea. 

106. PETROLEU3I. 

Stools : Yellotvish, watery ; Brownish-yellow, pasty ; Brown, watery ; 
Bloody mucous ; Watery and bloody, containing scrapings of the intes-

and one that often indicates this remedy in delirious states accompanying 
diarrhoea (or other affections). If unable to complete the cure, it will 
produce a favorable change and prepare the way for some other 
remedy. 

It is also useful in chronic diarrhoea with the aggravations and other 
symptoms as given above.

96 THE REMEDIES AND 

of tallow (they resemble more opaque frog spawn, or sago, as we have 
seen them) should prove to be so. The condition and accompaniments 
are, however, very peculiar, and are also constant. They will always 
be present in more or less completeness when this remedy is indicated, 
and will render a brilliant cure almost certain if the remedy is given 
in a proper dose, and is not repeated after the improvement has fully 
begun 

The symptoms of Phos. are most frequently met with in chronic cases. 
It is often well to give a single dose of a high potency of Nux vom. a 
few hours before beginning with Phos., particularly in cases coming 
from allopathic treatment.

Phos. ac. is one of the most prominent remedies for white or yellow 
watery diarrhoea, either chronic or acute. It is characterized by pain- 
lessness and the absence of any marked debility or exhaustion, the 
patient even gaining flesh in spite of the diarrhoea.

tration. Feet cold. Chilliness followed by clammy sweat. Great feeling

Picric acid presents a perfect picture of "brainfag," and although 
not well defined as a remedy for acute diseases of the bowels, ought to 
prove serviceable in diarrhoea occurring in persons exhausted by men-

less urine. Nocturnal, copious enuresis from laxity of sphincter vesicce. 
Grinding of the teeth during sleep. Sleep restless, disturbed by dreams.

iiig of the head during dentition. Perspiration on the head, with cold- 
ness of the flesh during dentition. Bad smell from the mouth (at 
night). Tongue coated yellowish or white. Tongue dry. Loss of ap- 
petite. Violent thirst or thirstlessness. Desire for acids. Sour re-

Softness of the flesh, with debility. 

Sallowness of the skin. Jaundice. Dark brown urine. 

Violent cramps of the feet, calves and thighs (with painless watery

There is no remedy so surely indicated by painless cholera morbus 
as Podoph. The stools are profuse and gushing, each seeming to drain 
the patient dry, but soon he is full again. There may also be violent 
cramps. It would seem that it must prove to be the similar to many 
cases of cholera, but clinical experience in this direction is still wanting. 
We hope that some of our colleagues, who have the opportunity, will 
test it in this fearful scourge. In diarrhoeas of infants it ranks also 
among the first to be referred to. It resembles Calc. c. and Phos. ac, 
yet can easily be distinguished from the former by careful attention to 
the concomitant symptoms, and from the latter by the more rapid 
debility and exhaustion. 

113. PSORINUM. 

Stools: Dark hr own, thin, fluid ; Blach, watery ; Green mucous, 
mixed with blood ; 

Very offensive, like rotten eggs ; 

Frequent ; Involuntary ; Nearly painless. 



100 THE REMEDIES AND 

Aggravation: During dentition: After severe, acute disease: At 
night : Early in the morning : When rising in the morning : In childbed : 
When the weather changes (general condition) : With east winds.

and a partially developed eru2:)tion on the forehead and chest. 

Body always has a filthy smell, even after a bath. Feels particu- 
larly well the day before an attack. 

Sick babies will not sleep day or night, but worry, fret and cry. 

Although the dark fluid stool is very characteristic of Psor., the very 
ofiensive odor is much more so. This alone often indicates it in infan- 
tile diarrhoea, or in cholera infantum, whatever may be the stool ; and 
it will usually produce a favorable change at once, and often complete 
the cure. It is also valuable as an intercurrent, when well-chosen 
remedies fail to relieve, here rivaling Sulph. Whether derived from 
purest gold or purest filth, our gratitude for its excellent services forbids 
us to inquire or care.

here and there during the pains. Urine yellow, turbid, with copious 
sediment looking like yeast. Great weakness and languor. 



102 THE REMEDIES AND 

Much clinical experience with Eaphanus has confirmed the symptom^ 
" No emission of flatus by mouth or anus for a long time," as one of 
priceless value. 

116. RHEUM.

tossing, crying out and twitchings of the muscles of the face and hands. 

Sour smelling of the whole body. 

The sour-smelling stool has always been regarded as the most char- 
acteristic symptom of Rheum. It is not one of the most frequently 
indicated remedies, and still less so on account of its constant abuse 
allopathically. 

" May be given after abuse of Magnesia, with or without rhubarb, if 
stools are sour." — H. N. Guernsey. 

117. RHODODENDRON. 

Stools : Thin, brownish, fecal ; Undigested ; 
Spurting out with force. 

Aggravation : In cold, damp weather: During or before a thunder- 
shower : After meals : After fruit :

Before Stool : Constant urging, with nausea and tearing colic : 
Cutting colic. 

During Stool: Cutting colic : Urging: Nausea: Tenesmus: Tearing

change position often to get relief. 

Restless sleep. Comatose sleep. Troublesome dreams, vivid, of hard

The stools of Rhus tox. are quite characteristic, and many of the 
conditions and accompaniments are very much so. It is frequently 
applicable in dysentery, mostly after other remedies, and in a late 
stage, when the disease shows a tendency to assume a typhoid type. 
The craving for cold milk and the laborious dreams of excessive bodily 
exertion, as running, wading in the snow, hurrying, and the like, are 
more characteristic of this remedy than of any other. It has been 
observed that Rhus tox. and Apism. do not follow each other well. 

119. RUMEX CRISPUS. 

Stools: Brownish, ivatery; Thin, brownish, fecal; Offensive; 
Generally painless ; Profuse. 

Aggravation : In the morning (before rising) :

The chief application of Rumex is to cases having the characteristic 
cough accompanying the diarrhoea. It has also proved useful, however, 
in morning diarrhoea where Sulph. seemed indicated, but did not cure. 

120. SABADILLA. 

Stools: Brown, fermented, swimming on the water; Liquid, bloody 
and slimy. 

Aggravation : In children : Every fourth day (worm symptoms) : 

At precisely the same hour (general condition). 

Amelioration : By lying down (general condition). 

Before Stool : Pinching around the umbilicus : Loud rumbling : 
Urging: 



THEIR INDICATIONS. 105

tions. It differs from Cina and Stannum both in the stools and in the 
concomitants. 

121. SAMBUCUS NIGER. 

Stools: Thin, slimy ; Yellow, fecal ; Watery; Frequent. 

Aggravation : In scrofulous children.

sleep; on awaking the face breaks out into profuse sweat, which extends 
over the body and continues more or less during the waking hours; on 
going to sleep again the dry heat returns. No thirst during heat or 
sweat. Most of the pains occur during rest and disappear during 
motion. 

The stools of Samb. present no special indications ; but the dry heat 
during sleep, breaking out into sweat ou awaking, and the absence of 
thirst, are very characteristic ; and when these concomitants are present, 
Samb. will quickly remove the whole train of morbid phenomena.

Sarsaparilla is especially useful for marasmus, following cholera in- 
fantum, and after abuse of mercury. 

124. SCII.I.A.

after Bryonia.

covered, or to heat. This will often distinguish it from many other 



108 THE EEMEDIES AXD 

remedies that have, otherwise, similar symptoms, especially Arsen., 
which has desire for heat and covering. It may be distinguished from 
Camph. by the violent thirst, and also by paying attention to the fact 
that the cold spells of the latter remedy often occur at night, passing 
off in the morning. The choleraic stool is not offensive, except per- 
haps at first, but that occurring in childbed is so. In cholera morbus 
it most resembles Colchicum, and is followed well by China. 

126. SEPIA. 

Stools : Green, mucous ; Green, slimy, mucous ;

closely to the vessel. Palms of hands and soles of feet burning hot. 
Sleepiness in the daytime. Frequent waking at night. Waking at 
three in the morning and inability to fall asleep again. Rapid 
exhaustion and emaciation. 

Sepia fills an important place in the treatment of infantile diarrhoea. 
The aggravation from boiled milk, and the rapid exhaustion, are dis- 
tinguishing symptoms. It is also applicable in chronic, debilitating 
diarrhoea. 

127. SILTCEA. 

Stools: Liquid, slimy, frothy ; Mucous; Reddish, mucous ; Bloody; 
Watery ; Purulent ; Pasty ; Undigested ; Scanty ; Frequent ;

Involuntary urination at night. Suppression of urine. 

Restless sleep. Sleepy, but cannot sleep. Feet and legs cold and 
damp. Offensive foot-sweat making the feet sore. 

Emaciation. Want of animal heat, always chilly, even when exercising. 

Silic. is one of our most powerful and deep-acting remedies, produc- 
ing radical changes in the whole constitution, and overcoming funda- 
mental psoric derangements. This renders it often indispensable in 
infantile diarrhoea and cholera infantum. It most resembles Calc. c. 
The characteristic perspiration on the head differs from that of the 
latter remedy in being more general over the whole head and forehead, 
and in the sour, offensive smell. The forehead is also often cold, but 
becomes warm if lightly covered, which is a very marked symptom of 
Silic. The perspiration under Merc, is more oily and sticky. 

MercTirius should not be given before or after Silicea.

Sulphur has a very wide range of application, being often required 
for every kind of loose evacuations by virtue of its similarity, and also, 
when not distinctively similar, when the appropriate remedies fail to 
act, or when the improvement which they produce constantly gives way 
and the patients gets better and worse. The early morning diarrhoea 
is very characteristic. It is especially useful in dysentery after Aeon, 
has removed the acute symptoms, when the tenesmus has ceased, but 
blood is still discharged.

During Stool : Colic: Tenesmus. 

Accompaniments : Collapse, anguish and restlessness, death-like 
pallor, coldness, fainting, cold persjnration, deathly nausea without 
vomiting, or vomiting of water when moving. Body cold, abdomen hot. 
Child wants the abdomen uncovered, which relieves the naiisea and vomit- 
ing. Great thirst, or thirstlessness. Burning in the stomach. Cold- 
ness in the abdomen. Hiccough, Vertigo. Oppressed respiration.

icith a ivhite, slimy coating, peeling off in patches, leaving dark red, sen- 
sitive places. Mapped tongue.

Tough, ropy, sour-tasting saliva. 

Throat and larynx feel as if closed. 

Frequent hiccough. 

Rawness extending from the mouth to the stomach, with burning in 
the stomach, rising up toward the throat. 

Great exhaustion. 

Taraxacum can never become a routine remedy for diseases of the 
bowels ; but we may prescribe it with confidence when the above 
characteristic symptoms of the tongue and buccal cavity are present. 

135. TEREBIXTHIXA. 

Stools : Watery, greenish ; Mucous and watery ; 

Frequent; Profuse; Fetid. 

Aggravation: In the afternoon and evening: In the morning: 
During typhoid fever,: During nephritis : From living in damp, dark 
dwellings. 



THEIR INDICATIONS. 115 

Before Stool : Colicky pains in the abdomen. 

After Stool: Vialent burning in rectum and anus: Exhaustion: 
Fainting. 

Accompaniments : Headache. Yertigo. Flushed face. Tongue 
very red, sore and glossy. Excessive tympanitis. Colicky pains in the

renal region. Pains extending down the ureters. Burning during 
urination. Violent strangury. Urine fetid, albuminous, scanty, dark, 
cloudy and smoky. Haematuria. Prostration, with cold, clammy per- 
spiration, and thready, almost imperceptible pulse. 

The appearance of the tongue, the meteoristic distension of the ab- 
domen and the urinary symptoms form a group, which unerringly 
indicates Terebinth. 

136. THROMBIDIUM. 

Stools: Thin, brown, fecal; Mucous; Blood-streaked; Bloody; 
Purulent; Mucous and bloody, with hard, fecal lumps; 

Frequent; Scanty; In small, fecal grains, constantly oozing. 

Aggravation: Bi the morning : After eating and drinking : After 
dinner and supper, but not after breakfast : From fruit : From sugar : 
In childbed.

Great debility : Weakness in the knees : Colic temporarily relieved, 
but soon returns. 

Accompaniments : Fainting on rising up. Loss of appetite. 
Griping pains in abdomen, aggravated by eating or drinking. Violent 
colic, causing one to scream with pain. Abdomen very sore. 

There has been as yetbut little clinical experience with Thrombidiiim, 
but it has marked and distinctive symptoms, which must render it a 
valuable addition to the Materia Medica. 

It may be distinguished from Nux vom. by the immediate concomi- 
tants of the evacuations ; from Merc, by the absence of the sweat and 
the greenish, bloody stool, so characteristic of the latter remedv; and 
from Sulph. by the aggravation after eating and drinking. 



116 THE REMEDIES AXD

sound. Much thirst or violent thirst. Drink falls audibly into the 
stomach. Desire for cold food and drink. Rapid exhaustion, causing 
oppressed and short breathing ; irregular and intermittent pulse. 
Rapid emaciation. 

It will hardly be easy to make a mistake about Thuja. Xo other 
remedy has the same combination of symptoms. Gratiola resembles it 
more than any other, but is easily distinguished by the aggravations 
and accompaniments of Thuja. This remedy is applicable to chronic 
diarrhoea, particularly when traceable to vaccination, or to gonorrhoeal 
infection, and should not be forgotten in cholera morbus, or in cholera 
infantum. In the latter affections it has a close resemblance to Lauro- 
cerasus. 

138. VALERIANA. 

Stools : Thin, watery, with lumps of coagulated milk ; Greenish, 
papescent with blood. 

Aggravation : In children: After abuse of chamomilla, or chamo-

Veratrum is a remedy of great value, and one very often required, 
but like all others it demands a careful selection, and is not to be given 
in every case of cholera morbus or of cholera. The most character- 
istic symptoms are the same in both cases, only more violent in the 
latter. The immediate accompaniments of the stool, with the thirst 
and cravings, distinguish this remedy. Verat. is seldom indicated in 
painless cases. 

140. ZINCUM MET. 

Stools : Papescent, enveloped in bright red, foamy blood ; Bilious ; 
Thin, pale, bloody ; Offensive ; Alternating with constipation. 

Aggravation : In children : During dentition : In the afternoon,

Convulsions : Daring dentition, ^Ylth pale face and no heat, except 
perhaps in the occiput; ushered in with twitching of single muscles, 
fidgety feet or loud screams : Gnashing of teeth : Rolling of the eyes : 
Sharp cries, caused by pain in the head : Automatic motion of hands 
and head, or of one hand and the head : Coma, the j^ulse coming in 
long waves. 

Sleep restless with starting, jumping, screaming out, twitching of 
muscles, and jerking through the w^hole body during sleep. Wakes 
frightened, stares, rolls the head from side to side. 

Zinc, is rarely, if ever, required in the beginning of either diarrhoea 
or dysentery, but is often useful in later stages, when the cerebral 
symptoms indicate approaching hydrocephaloid. Deficient nerve power 
is the great characteristic of the remedy, as shown by the convulsions 
occurring with pale face and without any increase of temperature. This 
symptom alone will distinguish Zinc, from Bell, and other allied rem- 
edies. 

141. ZINGIBER. 

Stools : Brown mucous.

pure water : After taking a chill from a cold, damp wind : After de-

flatulency, causing rumbling and rolling in the bowels. Nausea. 
Loss of appetite. 

Hsemorrhoidal tumors, hot, and painfully sore, whether sitting or ly- 
ing. Inflammatory redness, itching, and burning in and around the anus. 

If the symptoms of Zingiber be further confirmed by clinical obser- 
vation, it will fill an important place in our therapia. The aggravations 
are peculiar, particularly the aggravation from drinking impure water.

AL.L.E:N^, dr. timothy F. The Encyclopedia of Pure Ma- 
teria Medica ; a Record of the Positive Effects of Drugs 
upon the Healthy Human Organism. With contributions from 
Dr. Kichard Hughes, of England ; Dr. C. Hering, of Philadelphia ; Dr. 
Carroll Dunham, of New York ; Dr. Adolph Lippe, of Philadelphia, and 
others. Ten volumes. Half morocco or sheep, $70.00. Cloth, . . $60.00 

This Encyclopedia of Materia Medica, which is beyond question the most 
complete and extensive ever attempted in any country or language, is truly 
worthy of its name ; for it is a work to which the homoeopathic practitioner can 
turn with the certainty of finding the whole pathogenetic record of every remedy 
ever used in Homoeopathy. Pages could be filled with notices from the medical 
press in acknowledgment and appreciation of its great value. 

" A glance at it is sufficient to show the student of materia medica the treasures it brings 
to hand. . . . There is abundance of fresh material for the physiological knowledge 
of Belladonna, Bismuth, Cannabis [etc.]. . . . Here is for the first time a full and in- 
telligible pathogenesis of Bromine, of Cannabis Indica, and of Carbolic Acid. . . . The 
gift is invaluable. We can but again tender to Dr. Allen our grateful appreciation of his 
labors." — Review of Vol. Ilin the British Journal of Homoeopathy. 

''With the Volumes IX and X now before us Allen's ENCYCLorEDiA of Puke 
Materia Medica is completed. It comprises all remedies proved or applied br IIoukvo- 
paths. With truly wonderful diligence everything has been carefully collated from the 
whole medical literature that could be put under contribution to Homcvopathy, thus enabling 
any one who wants to make a thorough study of Materia Medica, or who wants to read up a

special remedy to find what he needs and where to look for it." . . . — From the AUegemeine 

Somoeopathische Zeitung. 

AL.LEX,DR. TI3IOTHY F. A General Symptom Register of 
the Hom^oeopatliic 3Iateria Medica. Pp. 1,331. Large 8vo. 
Half morocco or sheep, 814.00; Cloth, $12.00 

This Index was urgently called for long before the Encyclopedia was com- 
pleted, and no more convincing proof of its practical value could be adduced. 
It need only be added that the author's promise to furnish the best arranged and 
most complete repertory ever attempted is more than fulfilled. The ingenious 
selection and arrangement of type greatly facilitates its use. 

" The arrangement of this Sy:\iptom Eegister is simjile enough to make the work 
readily available, and, judging from a few experimental trials, we are led to deem it an 
exhaustive Index of the majority of the symptoms of the Encyclopedia . . . Dr. Allen has 
fitly crowned his long and arduous labor, and placed us all under obligations thai we can 
never repay." — The American Observer. 

" Every scientific practitioner in the world will heartily thank the indefatigable author 
for crowning his pharmaco-encyclopedic edifice so promptly with a workable repertorial 
index. The thing we are most thankful for is that the arrangement is strictly alphabetical. 
First, THE PART affected; secoxd, the sensation, cone/ lii'onec? or modified. Ko fads or 
fancies, theories or hypotheses. Of course, everybody has a copy of the Encyclopedist, and 
now everybody will get a copy of the Index. We cannot pretend to review such a work. 
It bears every mark of care, capability, and conscientiousness, and to hunt about for specks 
of dirt on such a grand picture is not the kind of work for us. The only piece of advice 
we oflfer to intending purchasers is that they ask for it bound in leather, for common cloth 
binding, no matter how nice to the eye, soon begins to tear at the back, and becomes the 
source of endless annoyance. This applies, of course, to a work for fi-equent reference, and 
Allen's 'Index' is practically a dictionary to his Encyclopedia, and as such will be used 
many times a day." — From the Somoeopathic World.

We give a letter of Timothy F. Allen, M. D., recommending the publica- 
tion of this little work : 

" I have carefully examined the repertory of Dr. "Wra. Allen, of Flushing, and assure 
vou that it is exceedingly valuable. It should be printed in pocket form. I should use it 
constantly. Dr. Allen has a large experience in the treatment of intermittents, and his 
own observations are entitled to great respect." 

..." Urged by other practitioners, he now offers to us [in the Eepertory before us] 
the priceless fruits of his labors, and its daily use shall be our thank-offering. May it 
fulfill his and our own expectations." — North American Journal of Eomoeopathy.

AliLEN, DR. H. C. The Therapeutics of Intermittent Fever. 

By H. C. Allen, M. D., of the University of Michigau. Second edition, 

revised and enlarged. Pp. 342. 8vo. Cloth, $2.75 

This is the Second Edition of the author's work, which originally appeared 
in 1879, found a rapid sale and met with a hearty reception from the pro- 
fession. It has been very carefully revised, and to meet an evident demand to 
the bracketed comparison of the former edition have been added some leading 
characteristics of each remedy, and a complete repertory. In advance of the 
malarial season, the homoeopathic practitioner can furnish himself with no bet- 
ter or more indispensable guide than this excellent monograph, as the following 
quotations will testify : 

" And now, is it too much to say that with its full Materia Medica, its comparisons, 
clinical illustrations, and repertory, all in good type, it is the best work on the subject that 
has ever been issued ?"' — A. F. Randall^ M. D., in Investigator. 

" This work is a necessity where one has to cope with that often most discouraging of 
all diseases, and its careful study may insure success. You are not complete without it." — 
The Regular Physician. 

ARNDT, DR. H. R. A System of Medicine, based ui)on the 
Law of Homoeopatliy. In three volumes, royal octavo. Vol. I, 960 
pages; vol. II, 900 pages; vol. Ill, 990 pages. Price per volume, bound 
in half morocco or sheep, $8,50 ; the complete work, $25.50. Price, per 

volume, bound in cloth, $7.50 ; the complete work, $22.50 

This great work has been received with unqualified praise both in Europe 
■and America, and has been unhesitatingly pronounced the most exhaustive work 
of its kind in homoeopathic literature. It is gratifying to see that the result 
of so much labor, the combined effort of so many of the best minds in our 
school has not been lost upon the profession : it is now clearly demonstrated 
that "^ System of Medicine, Based upon the Law of Somoeojoathy " will long 
remain a standard work in the homoeopathic school of medicine. The large 
demand for the work is especially encouraging, showing how many physicians 
realize that the books which are universally applauded are books to be bought 
and studied, or there will be no progress. 

The contents of the several volumes are as follows : 

Vol. I. — General Introduction — Chapter on Physical Diagnosis — Diseases 
of the Respiratory Organs — Diseases of the Organs of Circulation — Diseases of 
the Organs of Digestion. 

Vol. II. — Diseases of Blood-Glandular System — Diseases of Urinary Or- 
gans — Diseases of the Genital and Reproductive Organs — Diseases of the 
Nervous System — Diseases of the Organs of Locomotion. 

Vol. III. — Diseases of the Skin, of the Eye and Ear — Constitutional 
Diseases. 



Standard Homceopathic Publications. 



"Arndt's book is a great success. We shall advise it to our students in preference to 
any other system of practice." — From a letter written by Dr. T. F. Allen. 

" The work, if Vol. I is a sample, is creditable to the numerous contributors, to its 
editor, and to the publisher. The text is clearly rendered, is concise, and, so far as our 
reading shows, up to date in symptomatology, diagnosis, and pathology. 

*• In regard to paper, printing, and binding, we desire to thank our industrious and 
pains-taking publisher for offering such a perfect book. Printed with virgin type, on ex- 
cellent paper, the book vies with, if it does not excel, any previous effort of any publishing 
house . " — Hahnemann ian Monthly. 

" Whatever opinions one may have upon the contested points of homoeopathic practice, 
whether he be a loose prescriber or a strict Hahnemannian, he cannot fail to be proud of 
the handsome volume ^vhich Dr. Arndt here presents to his fellow practitioners. 

" It is a volume which, in extent and completeness, exceeds and excels anything of its 
kind yet published. . . - 

"The best portion of the volume, to our mind, is the chapter on diseases of the organs 
of digestion. This is worth the price of the volume." — The Homoeopathic Physician. 

"This great work will be to the homoeopathic school what Reynold's System of Medicine 
and Ziemssen's Encyclopedia of Medicine is to the allopathic. The homoeopathic system of 
practice has never been represented, in this country at least, by a text-book on general 
practice which met the wants of that school. They have been deficient in the etiology, 
pathology, and diagnosis of disease. But this work is very complete in these respects, and 
is fully up to the requirements of the condition of medical science of to-day. Every disease 
treated of in this volume is written up in the most exhaustive manner. The therapeutics 
of each disease is concise, plain, and not incumbered with that amount of symptomatology 
which has been a great fault of homoeopathic works on practice. The characteristic or 
guiding symptoms are alone given, greatly increasing the value of the work. . . . — Chicago

the Principles of Homoeopathy. Translated and enriched with 
numerous additions from Kafka and other sources. By C. J. Hempel,

"The descriptions of disease — no easy thing to write — are always clear and full, some 
times felicitous. The style is easy and readable, and not too prolix. Above all, the rela- 
tions of maladies to medicines are studied no less philosophically than experimentally, with 
an avoidance of abstract theorizing on one side, and of mere empiricism on the other, which 
is most satisfactory." — From the British Journal of Homoeopathy.

"'Bell on Diarrhoea' is a well-known classic that has for years been the daily com- 
panion of careful scientific prescribers. . . . Practitioners who have much to do with 
diarrhoea cannot afford to do without it. . . . The help afforded by this work has 
been the means of saving a great number of lives." — The Homoeopathic World, London. 



Standard Homoeopathic Publications. 



"This little book, issued in 1869 by Dr. Bell, has long been a standard work in Homoe- 
opathic Therapeutics. We feel quite within bounds in asserting that it has been the means 
under our law of saving thousands of lives. Than this no greater commendation could be 
penned. . . . . In this second edition, Dr. Bell has been assisted by Dr. Laird, of 
Maine ; also by Drs. Lippe, William P. Wesselhoeft, and E. A. Farrington. Thirty-eight 
new remedies are given ; the old text largely rewritten ; many rubrics added to the reper- 
tory; a new feature, the 'black type,' for especially characteristic symptoms, introduced. 

" This is a typical homceopathic work, which no homoeopathic physician can afford to 
be without. The typographical setting is worthy of the book." — From the Homoeopathic 
Physician. 

BERJEAU, DR. J. PH. The Homoeopathic Treatment of 
Syphilis, Gonorrhoea, Spermatorrhoea, and Urinary Dis- 
eases. Kevised, with numerous additions. By J. H. P. Frost, M. D. 
Pp. 256. 12mo. Cloth, S1.50 

This valuable little book, compiled from the results of the experience of 
the best homoeopathic authorities, by Dr. Berjeau, of London, in 1856, has 
since been revised and enlarged by J. H. P. Frost, M. D., and is now perhaps 
the best and most concise presentation of the subject to be had. 

" This work is unmistakably the production of a practical man. It is short, pithy, and 
contains a vast deal of sound practical instruction. The diseases are briefly described ; the 
directions for treatment are succinct and summary. It is a book which might with profit 
be consulted by all practitioners of homoeopathy." — North American Journal. 

BOERICKE and DEWEY, DRS. WM. A. and W. A. Tlie 
TTvelve Tissne Remedies of Scliilssler, comprising the Theory,

Professor of Materia Medica, and W. A. Dewey, M. D., Professor of 
Anatomy, in the Hahnemann Medical College of San Francisco. Pp. 303. 
8vo. Cloth, S2.50 

Ever since the first English edition calling attention to these remedies was 
published in 1874, their scope of usefulness has been expanding, until now 
thousands of homoeopathic physicians are using them daily. The real value of 
these remedies, and the incompleteness of their presentation in former works, 
led to the publication of the present volume, which consists of a complete and 
practical exposition of the Twelve Tissue Remedies, embracing all that has 
been written on the subject since their introduction, together with a large 
amount of original matter, new indications and observations relative to their 
application, furnished by physicians all over the United States and abroad. 

The main part of the work is devoted to the therapeutical application of 
these remedies, together with clinical cases, arranged to meet the demands of 
full investigation and ready reference. Another part consists of the materia

medica of the remedies, to which is added a complete and systematically 
arranged Repertory. Drs. Boericke and Dewey have spent much time in the 
preparation of the work, and the result of their labors is one well worthy of 
the attention of all homoeopaths. 

BREYFOGLE, DR. W. L. Epitome of Homoeopathic Medi- 
cines. Pp. 383. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25 

We quote from the author's preface : 
" It has been my aim throughout to arrange in as concise form as possible, the leading 

symptoms of all well-established provings. To accomplish this, I have compared Lippe's 

Materia Medica, the Symtomen-Codex, Jahr's Epitome, Boenninghausen's Therapeutic 

Pocket-Book, and Hale's New Eemedies." 

BRIGHAM, DR. GERSHAM IV. Plithisis Piilmonalis, or 
Tubercular Consvunption. Pp. 224. 8vo. Cloth, . . . $2.00 
This interesting work on a subject which has been the " Opprobium Med- 
icorum " for generations past, has met with a favorable reception at the hands 
of the profession. It is a scholarly work and treats its subject from the stand- 
point of pure Homoeopathy. 

"Our author's work must be pronounced as decidedly able, and its principal defects 
are those of the subject itself in its present state of development. In our opinion the 
whole question is still involved in too much doubt and difficulty to admit of its being 
handled very lucidly at present. Dr. Brigham tries very hard to clear the deck of all no- 
tions that might be in the way of handling the subject scientifically, but he does not quite 
succeed even in defining clearly one single form of phthisis. Why ? Because in the present 
state of the subject it is impossible for any man to do so, and we question whether a much 
better book on phthisis is possible at present." — From the Homceopathic World.

Dr, Burnett's essays were so favorably received in this country that 
they would undoubtedly have commanded a very large sale, had they not been 
so high in price. As it was, the six essays would have cost over five dollars, 
and in order to bring them within reach of the many we reprinted them, by 
special arrangement with the author, who contributed a new essay, "The 
Causes of Cataract," not hitherto published, and a general introduction to the 
volume. 

The book is printed in good style, on heavy toned paper and well bound,

" We have nothing to add in hearty commendation of this work to our notice of the first 
edition. ... It is undoubtedly the best book on uterine surgery, and the only scientific 
one on electro-therapeutics now before the public." — Tlie Homoeopathic Times. 

" Among the many works extant on Medical Electricity, we have seen nothing that comes 
so near 'filling the bill' as this. The book is sufficiently comprehensive for the student or 
the practitioner. The fact that it is written by an enthusiastic and very intelligent honice- 
opathist, gives to it additional value. It places electricity on the same basis as other drugs, 
and points out by specific symptoms when the agent is indicated. The use of electricity is, 
therefore, clearly no longer an exception to the law of similia, but acts curatively only when 
used in accordance with that law. We are not left to conjecture and doubt, but can clearly 
see the specific indications of the agent in the disease we have under observation. The 
author has done the profession an invaluable service in thus making ])lain the pathogenesis 
of this wonderful agent. The reader will find no difficulty in following both the pathology

Therapeutics. By C. L. Cleveland, M. D., Lecturer on Materia 

Aledica in the Homoeopathic Medical College, Cleveland, Ohio. Pp. 160. 
Small 8vo. Cloth, 81.25 

The object of this book is to furnish the homeopathic physician acd 
student with a simple, salient, practical, and thoroughly reliable work on 
Materia Medica and Therapeutics. The one hundred and ninety-seven drugs 
presented are those most commonly used. The great feature of the work in 
addition to that above indicated, is the fact that each drug is presented in the 
same manner that a remedy is selected with the greatest cerrainty. In a word, 
facilitj for memorizing and for rapid and accurate prescribing are furnished. 
The failures which attend the prescriber are often due to improper intei'preta- 
tions of the relaiive value symptoms ; the work in question avoids this source 
of error, and by its method of presentation of each drug, reduces to a mini- 
mum the elements of inaccui'acy which too frequently form a stumbling-block 
in the path of the '"' busy practitioner.'"

"The most concise and practical treatise on this very important subject yet given to 

the profession. It is not an exhaustive work, but a most plain and readily useful one. It 

contains in brief what Duncan and others have elaborated without necessity or advantage. 

. . . We heartily commend the book as the cheapest and best extant." — The Medical Call. 

" This is a good, sound book, by an evidently competent man. The preface is as manly 
as it is unusual, and engages one to go on and read the entire work. In the chapter on the 
examination of sick children we read that * no physician will ever have full and comfort- 
able success as a psedologist who has a brusque, reticent, undemonstrative manner. It is 
indispensable that a physician having children in charge should convince them by his 
manner that he likes them, and sympathizes with them in their whims, foibles, and peculi- 
arities. Their intuitions as to whom they ought to like.and ought not to like are marked 
and wonderfully accurate at a very tender age.' The physician who writes thus is a born 
psedologist, and most assuredly a very successful practitioner. . . , 

"After the examination of children has been dwelt upon, our author proceeds to dis- 
cuss of the hygiene of children in a very able and sensible manner. He then discourses 
upon the various diseases of children in an easy and yet didactic manner, and apy one can 
soon discover that he knows whereof he writes. — From the Homoeopathic World.

In 1869 this sterling work was first published, and was at once adopted as a 
text-book at all homoeopathic colleges. In 1873 a second edition, cousiderably 
enlarged, was issued; in 1878 a third edition was rendered necessary. The 
wealth of indications for the remedies used in the treatment, tersely and suc- 
cinctly expressed, giving the gist of the author's immense experience at the 
bedside, forms a prominent and well-appreciated feature of the volume.

'* Every homoeopathic physician and undergraduate should be owner of a copy of this 
wonderful work, should read it very carefully and often, and ponder over its contents. Our 
word for it, gentlemen, you will be the better for it as physicians and homoeopathists^ and 
you will be often surprised to find that on subjects which to your minds were obscure 
Hahnemann sheds a perfect flood of light which renders them so bright and well defined, 
that even he who runs may read. 

" To insure a correct rendition of the text of the author, they (the publishers) selected 
as his translator Dr. Conrad VVesselhoeft, of Boston, an educated physician in every respect, 
and from his youth up perfectly familiar with the English and German languages, than 
whom no better selection could have been made. That he has made, as he himself de- 
clares, ' an entirely new and independent translation of the whole work,' a careful compar- 
ison of the various paragraphs, notes, etc., with those contained in previous editions gives 
abundant evidence; and while he has, so far as possible, adhered strictly to the letter of 
Hahnemann's text, he has at the same time given a pleasantly flowing rendition that avoids 
the harshness of a strictly literal translation." — Hahnemannian Monthly.

"After giving a thorough overhauling to the lectures of Dr. Hale, with the full inten- 
tion of a close criticism, I acknowledge myself conquered. True, there are text-books on 
the same subject of thrice the number of pages — more voluminous, but not so concise ; and 
in this very conciseness lies the merit of the work. Students will find there everything 
they need at the bedside of their patients. It fills just a want long felt by the profession." —

" Dr. Hale's work on Neio Remedies is one both well known and much appreciated on 
this side of the Atlantic. For many medicines of considerable value we are indebted to 
his researches. In the present edition the symptoms produced by the drug investigated, 
and those which they have been observed to cure, are separated from the clinical observa- 
tions, by which the former have been confirmed. That this volume contains a very large 
amount of invaluable information is incontestable, and that every efl^brt has been made to 
secure both fullness of detail and accuracy of statement is apparent throughout. For these 
reasons we can confidently commend Dr. Hale's fourth edition of his well-known work

" Hale's New Remedies is one of the few works which every physician, no matter how 
poor he may be, ought to own. Many other books are very nice to have and very desir- 
able, but this is indispensable. This volume before us is an elegant specimen of the 
printer's and binder's art, and equally enjoyable when we consider its contents, which are 
not only thoroughly scientific, but also as interesting as a novel. Thirty-seven new drugs 
are added in this edition, besides numerous additions to the effects of drugs, previously 
discussed. . . . We must say and reiterate, if necessary, that Dr. Hale has hit the nail on 
the head in his plan for presenting the new remedies. It does well enough to tabulate and 
catalogue, for reference in looking up cases, barren lists of symptoms, but for real enjoyable 
study, for the means of clinching our information and making it stand by us, give us vol- 
umes planned and executed like that now under consideration." — From the JSew England

cuts. Bound in full leather. Pp. 1111. Royal octavo, $9.00 

Whether he like it or not, every doctor will at some time be called upon to 
do a little surgery, in view of which no homoeopathic physician can afford to be 
without Dr. Helmuth's great work, which is admirably adapted to the needs of 
the general practitioner. It is the work also for the special student, and him 
we would remind that surgery of to-day is not what it was ten years ago, and 
the difference between the preceding and our author's present edition is one of 
great importance. 

The work has for many years been used as a standard text-book in all 
homoeopathic colleges, and will long maintain its rank as the best work on the 
subject ever brought out by our school. Ever since it was issued the necessity 
for student or practitioner to invest in allopathic works on the subject ceased to 
exist, and now that this new fifth edition, which is up to date, abounding in 
valuable hints, and giving the results of the author's ripe and extensive ex- 
perience in homoeopathic medication in connection with surgery — now that all 
this, in our author's forceful, elegant diction is placed before the profession, it 
is certainly to be doubted if a work better adapted to the needs of the practi- 
tioner can be found anywhere. 

" We gladly welcome the fifth edition of this standard work, without which no homoeo- 
pathic physician can consider his library complete. The author has succeeded in his endeavor 
to make it ' an exponent of the surgery of the present,' and a volume suited alike to the 
requirements of student and surgeon; moreover, it is written in so interesting a manner 
that its perusal is a matter of pleasure as well as profit." — B. W. J., in the Hahneiiiannian 
Monthly. 

"This is THE homoeopathic work on surgery. The author stands in the front rank as 
a skilled operator. He has few equals and no superiors. The book is a marvel." — St. Louis 
Periscope. 

" For years Dr. Helmuth's Surgery has been the pride of every Homoeopath ; both 
practitioner and student have looked to it for guidance and direction as authority in all 
surgical matters. We had thought it almost impossible to improve the work, bu* Mr«

much on account of the thoroughness with which it has been prepared, as from the fact 
that it is a masterly plea for a form of operation that it would seem has long been unjustly 
under the ban of surgical censure. ... In this bold and original work Helmuth has 
opened up a new field for study, ably and abundantly fortified his positions, and given en- 
couragement for the hope that even the low ratio of mortality from lithotomy operations 
that modern methods have secured, will in the future be still further reduced." — Medical

Having stood the test of time, this well-known and standard work on Con- 
densed Materia Medica needs no flattering array of press notices to recommend 
it anew to the rising homoeopathic profession. We need only call attention to 
the work done by the able editor in his revision of the text for this, the third 
edition, and to this end we quote from his preface : 

" In the preparation of this . . . edition . . . additions have been made, and a fe\<' 
typographical errors corrected, but, in justice to the lamented author, no alterations have 
been made in the substance of the text as he left it. 

" More than twenty new remedies, arranged after the plan of the book, are given in 
full, and over forty partially proved drugs, with brief but distinctive indications, are added 
to the sections on ' Relationship.' Besides all this, about six hundred choice and well- 
attested symptoms have been incorporated in their proper place in the text. All the late 
works have been drawn upon for the new material, and even private sources have been 
unsparingly taxed ; but still, great caution has been used in making selections. The plans 
and purposes of the work demand clinical as well as pathogenetic symptoms. But of the 
former sort only those have been employed which agree with the provings, and which show 
every evidence of genuineness. Such discrimination demands the exercise of one's best 
judgment and the expenditure of much time. But it is believed the benefits to be derived 
far outweigh the trouble. The book is now offered to the profession and to students, not as 
a rival of other works, but as a rich treasury full of information common to homoeopathic 
literature, and also of gleanings from the vast collection which Dr. Hering made during a 
busy half century of medical study and labor."

" With this characteristically long title, the veteran and indefatigable Jahr gives us 
another volume of homoeopathies. Besides the explanation of its purport contained in the 
title itself, the author's preface still further sets forth its distinctive aim. It is intended, he 
says as a 'guide to beginners, where I only indicate the most important and decisive points 
for the selection of a remedy, and where I do not offer anything but what my own individual 
experience, during a practice of forty years, has enabled me to verify as absolutely decisive 
in choosing the proper remedy. The reader will easily comprehend that, in carrying out 
this plan, I had rigidly to exclude all cases concerning which I had no experience of my own 
to offer.' ... We are bound to say that the book itself is agreeable, chatty, and full of 
practical observation. It may be read straight through with interest, and referred to in the 
treatment of particular cases with advantage." — British Journal of Homoeopathy .

It is with pleasure that we announce a new edition of the above, which, 
since its first appearance in 1870, has been a leading work of reference for the 
clinical student and busy practitioners of our school. The many editions 
through which it has passed is sufficient evidence of its value, and it may now 
be said to represent the condensed experience of the leading physicians of the 
homoeopathic profession. 

In the present edition the author has spared no pains to render the work 
more accurate and complete, having re-examined every point of doubtful 
accuracy, rewritten a large portion of the original text, and added nearly one 
hundred pages of new subject-matter. Among the additions may be noted : 
Diagnostic Hints ; Auxiliary Measures ; Diet ; Dietic Preparation ; Ventila- 
tion ; Artificial Digestion ; Peptonized Food ; Antiseptic Dressings ; Cata- 
plasms; Enemata; Pressing Emergencies; Post-mortem Examinations; In- 
spection of Dead Bodies ; Death of New-born Infants ; Medico-legal Ques- 
tions ; Signs of Death, etc., etc., together with the treatment of a large number 
of diseases and accidents not found in former editions.

ably known author has surpassed himself. In this book fifty-six remedies are 
introduced for internal application, and four for external use. The work con- 
sists of two parts. Part I is subdivided into seventeen chapters, each being de- 
voted to a special part of the body, or to a peculiar class of disease. Part II 
contains a short and concise Materia Medica. The whole is carefully written 
with a view of avoiding technical terms as much as possible, thus insuring its 
comprehension by any person of ordinary intelligence. 

"Family Guides are often of great service, not only in enabling individuals to re- 
lieve the trifling maladies of such frequent occurrence in every family, but in the graver 
forms of disease, by prompt action to prepare the way for the riper intelligence of the phy- 
sician. 

"The work under notice seems to have been carefully prepared by an intelligent phy- 
sician, and is one of the handsomest specimens of book-making we have seen from its pub- 
lisher." — Homoeopathic Times.

This valuable domestic homoeopathic guide, which has become so popular 
in English, has now been published in German, under the belief that in time 
the translation will be equally in demand. A work of such practical usefulness 
cannot fail to win its way to the German homoeopathic household.

" We do not hesitate to indorse the claims made by the publishers, that this is the 
most complete, clear, and comprehensive treatise on the domestic homoeopathic treatment 
of disease extant. This handsome volume of nearly eleven hundred pages is divided into 
six parts. Part I is introductory, and is almost faultless. It gives the most complete 
and exact directions for the maintenance of health, and of the method of investigating the 
condition of the sick, and of discriminating between different diseases. It is written in the 
most lucid style, and is, above all things, wonderfully free from technicalities. Part II 
treats of symptoms, character, distinctions, and treatment of general diseases, together Avith 
a chapter on casualties. Part III takes up diseases peculiar to women. Part IV is devoted 
to the disorders of infancy and childhood. Part A" gives the characteristic symptoms of 
the medicines referred to in the body of the work, while Part YI introduces the repertory."

"Certainly no one in oar ranks is so well qualified for this work as he who has done 
it, and, in considering the work done, we must have a true conception of the proper sphere 
of such a work. For the fresh graduate this book will be invaluable, and to all such we 
unhesitatingly and very earnestly commend it. To the older one, who says he has no use 
for this book, we have nothing to say. He is a good one to avoid when well, and to dread 
when ill." — Prof. Samuel A. Jones in American Observer. 

" . . . It is an extraordinarily useful book, and those who add it to their library will 
never feel regret, for we are not saying too much in pronouncing it the best work on thera- 
peutics in homoeopathic (or any other) literature. With this under one elbow, and Hering's 
or Allen's Materia Medica under the other, the careful homoeopathic practitioner can refute 
Niemayer's too confident assertion, ' I declare it idle to hope for a time when a medical 
prescription should be the simple resultant of known quantities.' Doctor, by all means buy 
Lilienthal's Homoeopathic Therapeutics. It contains a mine of wealth." — Prof. Chas. Gatchel

reader should compare it, as we have done, with the best of those already before tlie

taining, as it does, recent forms of disease of which they make no mention." — Hahnemxin'

]SEIDHARD, DR. C. Pathogenetic and Clinical Repertoi-y 
of the most Prominent Symptoms of the Head, ^vith 
their concomitants and conditions. By Dr. C. aSTEiDHARD, formerly 
Professor of Clinical Medicine in the Homoeopathic Medical College of 
Pennsylvania. 

Id this treatise it is the object of the author to present the most prominent 
svmptoms of the head, particularly those as to the truthfulness of which there 
could be no doubt. In order to corroborate them he has added, not only the 
head symj^toms, but also those of other parts of the body, so as to form a 
complete picture of the disease, with all its concomitauts and conditions. 

The author's extensive experience, covering a period of fifty years, has 
taught him that, when the remedies most thoroughly correspond to the afiec- 
tions of the head, they will also find their counterparts in other parts of the 
body. The symptoms are arranged not only according to their locality, but 
also according to the nature of the pain, which method will enable the practi- 
tioner to find easily the true remedy in any given case. 

The book is now in press, and will be issued in April of this year, at which 
time the price will be announced.

The second edition of Allen and Norton's Ophthalmic Therapeutics has

ably enlarged by Professor Norton, and vnll, without doubt, be as favorably re- 
ceived as the first edition — out of print since several years. This work embodies

Cloth, 1.50 

This monograph presents, in a most distinct and interesting manner the 
symptoms which should guide in the selection of the remedy for all forms of 
rheumatism. More than one hundred remedies are given, and so clearly are 
the indications stated that even the amateur should be able to cure the most 
obstinate case. The convenient repertory adds greatly to its value. 

The book is one of great interest and undoubted value, and will amply re- 
pay the physician who studies it.

This is a book which has made for itself a name and a place in the litera- 
ture of our homoeopathic school of medicine, and, in connection with this Third 
Edition, it is enough to say that the work has been greatly improved and con- 
siderably enlarged, and, as Homoeopathy now stands, is doubtless as near as 
possible to all that can be desired. Practitioners who own the first and second 
editions will find it to their interest to own also the third, with its new and 
valuable features. 

" The third edition of this classical work will be welcomed by every homoeopathic 
practitioner. . . . We know of no book in either school of medicine at once so concise and 
accurate." — California Homoeopath. 

" By the revision and enlargement of this excellent work the author has again con- 
ferred a boon upon the entire homoeopathic school. As a work on practice, this book is 
undoubtedly the best representative of Homoeopathy to be found in our literature. Its aeti- 
ology, pathology, diagnosis, are clear and concise, and the ' Therapeutic Hints,' with ' Di- 
gest,' enable the practitioner to cure his patient. . . . The office of every honuvopath will 
be incomplete without this work for reference. It will repay its cost many times a year." 
— Medical Advance. 

"The young physician of limited means, and consequent limited library, would tind it 
to his special advantage to possess it, as it really stands as a fair equivalent to many mono- 
graphs on many subjects ordinarily considered desirable possessions '' — Medical Era.

" Prof. Raue, as a teacher, was always noted for his practical conciseness in stating 
things, and his statements have always been looked upon as eminently reliable, hence it is 
no wonder that his work should reach a third edition." — N. Y. Medical Times. 

" To the general practitioner, no matter how 'busy,' to the student, to those who are 
seeking light in this new and rapidly enlarging field of medicine, and to the old school -phy- 
sician we recommend this work as one far superior to any now in existence, taking the size
